constitution? :patriot:

2. Here's more info so that ya don't have to click on the OP link....

... Kvamme is barred by the state constitution from serving in his previous role. The Ohio Constitution and Revised Code require that State Directors must be a resident and registered to vote in Ohio for 30 days prior to an appointment or else it is illegal and nullified. Mr. Kvamme is not a resident of Ohio, is not eligible to vote in Ohio, and therefore is not legally appointed to his position. ...

4. That's not the point.

When reading a DU OP it's nice to see some text regarding what the title is all about ;)

5. Those danged little niceties. I'll go out on a limb and proffer the whole of the Kasich

administration will be as reckless, feckless, and inattentive to requisite little niceties as this appointment. :patriot:
